"I lost my friend. I lost my partner. I lost my storyteller. I said, ‘I’m not doing this,’ and I put it in a drawer. I forgot about it... About a year went by and I was talking to Richard Starkings, who’s our letterer and designer and has really been with us from the beginning and in a lot of ways is our inspiration, and Mark Chiarello, who was our editor on Dark Victory and a really close friend of Tim’s. And they started to get me to think about this as, instead of doing a project without Tim, what if we did a project for Tim? What if we made this into a tribute to Tim?” -- Jeph Loeb

Batman: The Long Halloween Special #1

"I wanted to answer some of the questions that people had, but I also wanted to leave things open in case DC wanted to revisit this time period; revisit it with us. I have to give enormous credit to them, because of the work that has gone into The Long Halloween stories. The collection started with Haunted Night, and then it's Long Halloween, and it goes into Dark Victory and Catwoman: When In Rome. That's an enormous amount; it's over 1000 pages of work that I can't believe Tim and I ever did.
But the fact that they've left that world for us to go back to - and they haven't told a story that contradicted it in any way, so that we had to figure out, 'How do we undo that and still say that that happened?' and that kind of thing - it's just very generous. It's very generous from fellow professionals, who could have seen a Longer Halloween or something that they could do." -- Jeph Loeb

From this article, Daredevil's Peter Shinkoda revealed that Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb told the writers to nix storylines involving Asian characters.
“Jeph Loeb told the writer’s room not to write for Nobu and Gao,” Shinkoda said. “This was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners that ‘Nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people. There was three previous Marvel movies—a trilogy called Blade—where Wesley Snipes kills 200 Asians each movie; nobody gives a shit, so don’t write about Nobu and Gao,’ and they were forced to put their storyline down and drop it.”
Jeph Loeb was the person who had the only Asian character in Ultimates cannibalized by the Blob so I'm not surprised. Wouldn't shock me if me his views were reflected across certain other areas of Marvel but that's for another day.
